   What does sexp mean for non-lisp languages like C etc?
   (Needed for functions like forward-sexp)

(info "(elisp) List Motion")

An "expression", either atomic or, if compound, delimited by balanced
pairs (parens, braces, quote chars), but note that a "defun" may have
other conceptual cruft (typically at the beginning, e.g., a C function)
so that it is not a simple "sexp".  In a similar vein, multi-char pairs
(e.g,. "begin".."end") require more hair, but the idea is the same.

   Is there somewhere I can 8-10 different faces ready?
   And how faces are used in programming modes?

(info "(elisp) Faces for Font Lock")

Try also ‘M-x list-faces-display’.  Programming modes are encouraged to
use those whose names begin with "font-lock-", i believe.
